Understanding Personal Care

in Kentucky

Understanding Personal Care in KentuckyIn the Commonwealth of Kentucky, a Personal Care community is part of a healthcare continuum of care that includes Personal Care communities, Assisted Living communities and Nursing Homes. Personal care communities are licensed by the Commonwealth of Kentucky through the Kentucky Cabinet of Health Services, while Assisted Living communities are certified (not licensed) by the Kentucky Department for Aging and Independent Living. A Personal Care community will often allow the resident to “age in place” longer before a higher level of care may be required, i.e., a nursing home. The greatest difference between Personal Care and Assisted Living relates to nursing oversight and medication management, which is provided at a Personal Care community.

Morning Pointe encourages you to visit Personal Care and Assisted Living communities in the area to help thoroughly understand the scope of services offered to seniors and their families. We realize how difficult a move is for any person, especially seniors, and we would be pleased to discuss the depth of healthcare services offered at our Personal Care community. Our goal at Morning Pointe is to provide a comfortable, safe and secure environment that will allow for “aging in place” to minimize the likelihood of future moves. We are confident that you will find Morning Pointe Senior Living to be the residence of choice.
